Law and Society: An Introduction

By Cliff Roberson, Harrison Watts, John Harrison Watts

Focusing on the interface between law and society, this text explores a range of topics, from principal legal systems and theories, the impact of sociological research on the law, to court systems and procedures. The text describes the nature and process of lawmaking as well as alternative dispute resolution. It also discusses the law as a mechanism for social changes-such those brought on by the 1964 Civil Rights Act-and issues related to the legal profession and professional responsibility. The text is enhanced by chapter summaries of salient points, review questions, and practical exercises.
